My children can't pout. They just can't do it. They try, but I've found a trick that won't let them pout. As soon as that bottom lip comes out I get out my imaginary hammer and nails to start building a house. I tell them to hold their lip out because it makes a great foundation for a house. As soon as I start to "build" my house they can't help but laugh. They're used to it now and all I have to do is hold my fingers out like I'm about to start "building." They're distracted before they know it. And I don't have to get on to them or try to convince them to stop pouting.

Do you have any great tricks? I'd love for you to share them!
